Abstract: A position detector determining the relative position of the rotor of an electric motor with respect to its stator has a power transmission device in the form of a coil (S1) at the stator end. The power is received in a coil arrangement (R1) revolving with the rotor. The current flows through another coil arrangement (R2) which has rectangular or sinusoidal sections distributed over the circumference. At the stator end, two coils with sinusoidal variation are arranged over the circumference of a circular track. In these coils (S2,S3), two signals with sinusoidal variation dependent on the rotor position are generated which are phase-shifted with respect to one another. These phase-shifted signals are processed in evaluating electronics (16) to form position signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In manufacturing a glass material used for a re-heat press method of manufacturing high-precision optical glass components including a lens, prism or the like, a glass material can be manufactured which has no defect inside of or on the surface of the glass, and without requiring a process of grinding and polishing the glass. The glass material is manufactured by dropping melted glass from the glass outlet of a glass melting furnace to a mold and cooling the dropped glass on the mold. The distance between the mold and the glass outlet is in a range which maintains the temperature of the stretched area of dropping glass - the area where the melted glass dropped on the mold is spontaneously separated by its own weight and surface tension - at its softening temperature or above. The temperature of the glass around the stretched area is at least its softening temperature, and the glass around that area is thus be instantaneously incorporated into the glass on the mold after separation. As a result, there is no difference in temperature over the entire glass, and no defect is generated inside and on the surface of the glass.

Abstract: A system for automatic continuous train control (LZB) is disclosed which, in addition to area junctions (BG1, BG2) which serve as locating reference points, has special locating reference points which are set up at points at which vehicles have to be frequently taken up, or taken up again, into the automatic continuous train control system, for example, at station gridirons or at entrances to route sections not equipped with an automatic continuous train control system. The special locating reference points consist of short line conductor loops (KS1, KS2) which either operate on the frequency of the automatic continuous train control system or at a frequency which is different therefrom but can still be received by the automatic continuous train control system receiving devices of the vehicles. The short line conductor loops transmit special data telegrams which contain precise location information and are evaluated by vehicles which do not know their location. The central control unit of the automatic continuous train control system outputs search data telegrams intermittently, which data telegrams are answered by vehicles which have previously evaluated a special data telegram. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the simultaneous preparation of 1,2- and 1,3-propanediol from glycerol. 1,2-Propanediol is customarily prepared from propylene oxide, 1,3-propanediol by hydration of acrolein with subsequent hydrogenation. The process according to the invention comprises the reaction stages (a) dehydration of glycerol by passing a gaseous glycerol/water mixture containing 10 to 40% by weight of glycerol at 250 to 340@C over a solid catalyst having an Ho value (Hammett's acid function) of less than 2, preferably between -3 and -8.2, (b) hydration of the acrolein contained in the reaction mixture of stage (a) and (c) catalytic hydrogenation of the reaction mixture containing the 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde and hydroxyacetone of stage (b). Two useful substances, namely 1,2- and 1,3-propanediol, can simultaneously be obtained in a high total yield from glycerol in a simple process.

Abstract: In addition to the data and/or control instructions for a regular train, intermittent automatic control or continuous control transmission devices (B1, B2) transmit additional codes to the trains which permit there a modification of the transmitted data and/or control instructions according to the respective type of train. Thus, for example for a train which, due to its design, can travel faster than the regular train, higher acceptable travel speeds (VZ2) can be derived from the transmitted data and/or control instructions for the regular train, than for the said regular train (VZ1). The optimisation of the travel mode as a function of the respective type of train requires only quite a small increase in the volume of information of the train control devices; the application of the invention is intended in particular for intermittent automatic train control because here the volume of information to be transmitted is limited due to the only brief transmission times. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A master plate of an optical memory device has a substrate having a plurality of guiding grooves on a surface thereof with a predetermined interval. The respective edge portions of the guiding grooves are inclined with respect to the surface of the substrate at an angle not more than 30°. According to a manufacturing method of the master plate, the post-baking process is carried out at a baking temperature of not less than 150°C and an etching gas containing O₂ gas of 4 (SCCM) to 10 (SCCM) is used. Thus, even when the copying is carried out with respect to the substrate of the optical memory device according to the injection molding process wherein the stamper, which is manufactured based on the above-mentioned master plate, is used, the mold release of the stamper can be carried out without being caught by the substrate. Thus, it is possible to keep the respective shapes of the guiding grooves of the stamper, thereby enabling of manufacturing the substrate of the optical memory device with high repeatability.
